This study seeks to understand how best to increase knowledge about clinical trials, best way of communicating information about clinical trials, and suggestions for improving clinical trial participation particularly among African Americans (AA).
this study is to gather data on activity and activity restrictions for women pregnant with a short cervix.
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of e-filing of Domestic Violence Protective Orders (DVPOs) in North Carolina. This phae of the study involves phone or Zoom interviews with Clerks of Court in North Carolina.
The purpose of the DETECT study is to learn more about how some breast tissue features show up on a mammogram and what these features can tell us about the potential for a breast cancer diagnosis. Your participation will help us understand how the appearance of those breast tissue features is affected by hormone levels. Our objective is to collect urine samples that we will use to measure hormone levels. We will examine how hormone levels are related to breast tissue features measured from a breast cancer screening mammogram.
The purpose of this research study is to see how use of genetic testing to help doctors with choosing blood thinning medication after a heart procedure called an angioplasty (also called percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI) affects your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, death or bleeding. Some doctors use genetic testing to help decide which blood thinner to prescribe for a patient. By doing the study, the investigators will be able to look at clinical outcomes (heart attacks, stroke, death, bleeding) after genetic testing and prescribing of blood thinning medications for patients with different backgrounds and medical histories. They will also look for new genes that affect how blood thinners work.
To store remaining amniotic fluid after all clinical analysis is completed to create a biobank of samples to be used for future research.
This study will test how effectively changes in lung structure and function can be detected with a new inhaled gas combined with a MRI.
This study is an access and distribution protocol for unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) in pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies and other indications. This protocol will allow access to cord blood units that are unlicensed.
The primary objective of PATIENCE is to develop a standardized approach to the treatment of NTM in CF patients with a diagnosis of NTM disease. The secondary objectives are to: - Evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a standardized treatment protocol for NTM disease - Evaluate effectiveness of a standardized NTM disease treatment protocol to serve as baseline/reference estimates of endpoints in clinical care and future therapeutic trials - Support biomarker development for markers of NTM treatment response through banking of clinical specimens and NTM isolates linked with outcomes data - Characterize clinical features of patients achieving treatment success compared to those unresponsive to treatment
The goal of this study is to learn more about relationships, sexuality, family, work, and finances. This new information will help us understand factors that contribute to health among diverse adult populations including people who identify as straight or LGBT, as well as different races and ethnicities.
